LA County Social Workers Respond to Attack of DCFS Employee
Our hearts go out to our fellow Social Worker and her family, this attack on one of our sisters is both heartbreaking and infuriating; the issue of safety at our workplace is not new and has been escalating in the last year. A Social worker’s job is to protect children and families by confronting an array of dangerous situations including domestic violence, individuals with severe mental illness and drug use.
Bringing August Heat!

The August Heat sweatbands will send a strong a message to Management that L.A. County workers are standing firmly together for a fair contract that invests in its workforce and expands services for the communities they serve.
Raising Up DCFS Social Workers!
On our Way to Stamping Out Poverty Wages in L.A. County
Raising the minimum wage in unincorporated L.A. County provides a game-changing opportunity for working families struggling to make ends meet, as well as a vantage point for our L.A. County members currently bargaining to raise up all of L.A. County. Over the last 3 years, SEIU Local 721 has anchored the fight by L.A. Fast Food Workers to increase the minimum wage throughout the Greater L.A. Region.
